i want to be myself

sometimes i want to be alone,
i just want to be the only person,
that i walk passed
i want to look back and see myself.
i want to look up to me
and only see myself.

i want a distinct lane,
that only i dry in it,
i want to put my lights on full mode
and not really have a blink from the next driver
that my lights are too bright.

i want to be my own benchmark
of success,
that if i achieve so much it would not really seem much
and if i dont achieve anything i dont have to get worried
coz the "whole world" will have achieved that.

i want to be the only face on the bill boards,
the only model in the magazines.
i want to be the only headline in the papers
and the only breaking news on tv.

but its so hard to be a masterpiece in a world that is constantly moulding you from the looks of others,
in a place where your success can only be rated against other people,
in a life where measure depends on who else did that,
nomatter what they had,
its so hard to be yourself in this world.
